Judicial Watch says Hazleton illegal immigration ordinances consistent with federal law
Times Leader
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, filed an amicus curiae brief with U.S. District Court in the Middle District of Pennsylvania in support of two ordinances enforced by Hazleton relating to the employment and harboring of illegal aliens, the group said Wednesday.
Hazelton’s ordinances, known as the Illegal Immigration Relief Act, prohibits any business that holds a business permit from employing an illegal immigrant. This ordinance also prohibits any person or business that owns a dwelling unit from harboring an illegal immigrant.
Judicial Watch argues that the ordinances are consistent with federal law, and assist in achieving the same goals and objectives articulated by Congress in enacting federal immigration laws.

Mission Viejo backs law to weed out the undocumented

Mission Viejo has joined the national immigration debate, adopting an ordinance requiring its employees and contractors to participate in a federal program meant to weed out unauthorized workers.
"We will be setting an example for all those in the community," said Mayor Pro Tem John Paul Ledesma, who put the ordinance on the agenda. The council unanimously approved the measure on its first reading on Monday. If it’s approved on a second reading, it will go into effect July 1.
The city’s decision would require participation in the Department of Homeland Security’s Basic Pilot Program, which is free and Internet-based. It requires verification that city employees and those contracted with the city are legally authorized to work in the United States.
Ledesma said he introduced the ordinance after a resident approached him about illegal workers in the city. In February, he introduced a no-trespassing ordinance as a response to an influx of day laborers in the city.
"It is our responsibility to show we believe in the rule of law and respect," said Ledesma. "We should do as much as we can on the City Council level."

U.S. agents under greater attack on Mexico border
By Robin Emmott Reuters
LAREDO, Texas ) - Frustrated by tighter security on the U.S.-Mexico border, illegal immigrants and drug traffickers are taking it out on U.S. agents, increasingly attacking them with guns, rocks and petrol bombs.
Assaults against Border Patrol officers rose 10 percent to 843 incidents in the year to September 2006 from the same period a year before, officials say. It is also a near three-fold increase from two years previously.
Mexican drug cartels, locked in a turf feud and under pressure from an army crackdown, are lashing out at law enforcement officers in Texas.
"The attacks against us are becoming more brazen. Drug cartels have instructed their people to go down fighting, to do whatever is necessary to get the narcotics through," said Rick Flores, Webb County sheriff in Laredo, Texas.

I like the quote about mediocre minds followed briskly by a glaring typo in the first section. Thanks jingo-sophy!
